    Hot pot
    S H.

    We go there for hotpot experience, especially for their halal menu which is limited. It always a good idea to let them know hike reserving the table that you will be going for the halal menu, and when you're there, the servers will help you pick what all you can eat. I love their "all you can eat" and the servers keep coming to check on you when you need more. They also help you pick which soups you can enjoy that has seafood or vegetarian broth on it if you're going for halal. The ambiance is perfect, with such a nice interior. Highly recommended for all my halal peeps out there who would enjoy all the meat!

    This is an appreciation post for their happy hour! The deals are such a steal for the Chicago area! Love their $7 for a beer + a shot! If you're not big on beer/liquor, they also have the prettiest and tastiest mocktails! Friendly staff. The bar area is a great, casual place, and they have TVs for sport watching!

    My cousin treated us to an all-you-can-eat yakiniku dinner, and all three of us chose the Silver Wagyu set which you have to order the same in the table. To start, we ordered the fried gyoza, tempura shrimp, and seared salmon nigiri, which were all great choices. The quality of the meats really stood out--everything was tender, flavorful, and cooked beautifully on the grill. The bone marrow was a favorite at our table and definitely a must-order. We wrapped up the meal with ice cream, which was the perfect sweet ending. The service was friendly, attentive, and efficient throughout our visit. The restaurant itself is spacious with plenty of seating, making it a comfortable spot for groups or special occasions.

    The futuristic, sheer black interior with tall walls feels upscale and immediately impressive when you walk in. We came here for my husband's birthday, and it did not disappoint! This all-you-can-eat concept offers two options: wagyu hot pot or wagyu grill. We chose the hot pot (shabu shabu), which felt like the better fit for a slower, cozy meal. You build your own sauce at the sauce bar and can grab your own vegetables, while meats and appetizers are brought to the table. There are several tiers of membership-style pricing. We opted for the Diamond tier and were able to try a wide range of items beyond just wagyu. The sweet shrimp in particular was exceptional, and the wagyu tartare was also a standout. For broth, we went with the golden chicken base, which was rich without being overpowering. In addition to wagyu and vegetables, you can also order a seafood platter or individual seafood items. We tried the scallops and abalone, and both were were fresh and delicious. Vegetables include mushrooms, napa cabbage, bok choy, tofu, and other fresh selections that you can self-select at the bar. Service was excellent! The server was fast, attentive, and consistently checked in without being intrusive. No complaints there. The meal ended with ice cream delivered to the table (chocolate, strawberry, or vanilla), and there is also a self-serve fruit station with watermelon and pineapple. The chocolate ice cream is TO DIE FOR!!! A little background on this place~ Wagyu House is part of the Chubby Cattle group, a modern hot pot and wagyu dining concept known for immersive dining experiences and premium meats. Overall, this was another solid Chubby Cattle concept restaurant that delivers on both food and experience.

    Surprisingly good takeout. We tried: - Chicken Karaage - Shabu-Shabu Szechuan Spicy - Shabu-Shabu Sukiyaki I will say different apps have different menus, so you may see something ordered on one that doesn't appear on the other. Either way, the food arrived warm, flavorful, and you could taste the quality. I will order again!

    First time coming to Wagyu House! I was definitely impressed on their extensive halal options! Everything was so flavorful, however I will say service was not the best. Our server hardly came to the table which made it difficult to order anything the second or third time. We received wrong items 3 times than what we ordered and the restaurant wasn't even that busy. Overall I would come back for the food and the ambiance but customer service especially for paying that much could have been better.

    Beautiful restaurant with very modern decor that feels grand and full of flair. Our server was fantastic and checked on us regularly and gave great recommendations on what to order. We opted for the shabu-shabu only and went with the Diamond Set, which comes with unlimited specialty dishes like sweet shrimp, wagyu tartare, and bone marrow. The appetizers alone were a huge highlight for me. I got several plates of the bone marrow and sweet shrimp, which would have run up a huge tab at most other restaurants, but here were included in the set. The wagyu cuts were phenomenal - rich, tender, and perfectly marbled. I went with the golden chicken broth, which had amazing depth of flavor and paired perfectly with the vegetables and meat. Would definitely come back although I'll probably go for the yakiniku next time since i've already had the shabu experience.

    Chicken karaage and fried gyoza
    Cassie T.

    Been here a few times for both shabu and bbq, and truthfully never been too impressed. For shabu, the spicy Sichuan Wagyu broth is pretty decent and flavorful, the golden chicken broth was a little bland. I'd say the spicy sichuan is more flavorful than Happy Lamb's, but the golden chicken here is not similar to happy lamb's golden cabbage broth whatsoever so don't get that idea!! The meat seems like good quality but the veggies and other sides are very limited compared to other hot pot places. No fish balls, pumpkin, watercress, etc.. it's nice to have nigiri and everything but for the price, I think I'd go to happy lamb instead for shabu/hot pot. Great quality of meat for bbq, no complaints. I love the handrolls and sushi! Although some items are not quite as flavorful as other places, like the corn cheese. The ice cream is great though lol I'd give the food 4 stars but the service is usually veryyy slow. Even if the restaurant is empty, there's always a wait to be seated lol. Ordered a soda refill, finally got it after following up a third time. Meats come out slow and you end up getting full waiting for it. The restaurant itself is very clean and on the fancier side, the ambiance is nice. But not my go-to for bbq or shabu/hot pot, I really want to like this place but I think there are better options for the price you pay.

    Excellent service from Eric! We sat at the bar for happy hour and we loved our experience. Such a great happy hour! 3 appetizers for $15 and then a choice of 3 sushi items for $25. Happy hour is Monday thru Thursday 6-8pm. Friday 5-7pm. Delicious food and cocktails. Crispy fries, and excellent nigiri. Tasty gyoza, and crunchy fried spring rolls. We also tried the wagyu nigiri off the regular menu and wow!!! Phenomenal!!!! Gorgeous restaurant!!! So cool, modern, sleek, and inviting. I definitely want to return for a hot pot dinner. I'll definitely be a regular at happy hour too.

    I want to reiterate other comments I've seen. We've been here a handful of times and even got membership but I must say and both my husband and I feel that the time you REORDER the Jap A5 Wagyu? They no longer give you Japanese version. The taste is different. Like you are being given lower tier meat since there's no way for customers to really differentiate but believe me the taste is different. And even the meats look different! There's an after taste. I've tasted it before my husband said the same thing the next time we went which gave me the reason to write this. I've cancelled My membership because of this. Membership are automatic by the way. I had to email 3x to get my money back. I'd never go back. 3 stars for the servers and other food we ate.

    Wagyu Tartare
    Sung L.

    If you ever find yourself unable to decide what to eat, Wagyu House is the perfect solution. Having sushi, hot pot, and barbecue all in one spot makes it ideal for groups or anyone who wants a little bit of everything. Service was extremely attentive and fast. Plates were cleared quickly and drinks were always refilled. The atmosphere is lively and great for a night out. The food was good but not quite at the level of a restaurant that focuses only on sushi or hot pot. Still, the variety, quality of the meats, and overall experience make this place worth visiting.

    Mia M.

    Good service, staff is great and knowledgeable on their Wagyu and how to prep you for cooking it. They don't rush you and they check on you often. I love that you get unlimited meat for a great price. To me, it's a bargain here. I tried both silver hotpot and gold barbecue and both were great but I prefer barbecue. I absolutely LOVE Wagyu so I was excited to see the A5 and Wagyu from not just Japan but also Australia. I felt like I was getting pretty decent meat for the States considering every time I come back from Europe or Africa the meat here tastes like rubber to me. Kudos to good quality meat. Only main downside is the fact that you can't make reservations for barbecue and it can be a long wait. You can wait at the bar and have a drink but it's easy to go over the 2 hour parking limit (for free parking) in the garage when waiting on barbecue, so try to go during the week versus weekends so you can take advantage of some of the happy hour specials and less crowded days/nights if you're into the discount thing. Seniors get 15% discount. Chubby Club for discount is worth it IF you plan on returning, but it also even pays for itself really. I'll be back.

    Our first place silver tier
    Caroline C.

    In Chicago for vacation was was craving meat Service was really efficient! We came with only 1 hour left of food call and I promise you we had way too much to eat (they have a 90 min time limit). We chose silver just because of the time limit and we have 0 regrets. Everything was fresh and seasoned well (not drenched in sauce) The grill was great charocoal We also got their wagyu bimbimbap which was pretty good not too filling and their spicy miso soup for end of meal. OKAY BUT ALSO THE WAGYU CURRY WAS SOO GOOD Also don't sleep on the bone marrow!! Ambiance: clean. I wish there was a little bit better ventilation though! Only thing I wished they had were bonchons! They had kimchi and an app and sauce bar though!

    As far as I know, it's only AYCE

    Does this location have both Yakiniku and Hot Pot?

    Yes

    Does everyone in the party have to select the same package?

    Yes, everyone at the table needs to choose the same package.

    Is it halal?

    No this place is not Halal

    Are reservations required?

    Not required but i would recommend

    Is this good for kids?

    for sure, the table next to us had a brought 5 kids between the age of 5-10, running around, screaming, I would say the establishment is very kids friendly. Don't be intimidated by the upscale appeal, the actual experience is quite similar to… 

    How much is the weekday AYCE hot pot per person?

    it's the same throughout the week, $68 per person with limited options or $88 per person without limitations. water and drinks are separate charge

    Is there a dress code?

    no, some dress fancy, some dress casual, as long as you have clothes on lol

    Is there an all you can eat option?

    Yes, there is now.

    Is there a parking lot?

    Yes. There is a large paid lot under the restaurant / mall. They give two hours validation.

    H, thanks for your question! We do allow kids, and we hope to see you soon!

    Yes, but highly recommend a reservation as this place is very popular and high demand right now.

    There's also a parking meter but I suggest use the parking lot and get a validation. That way you save money.

    If you order the dancing noodles you get a little show!

    Good for kids?

    For sure. A good experience for them

Everybody at the table must order the same level of menu, and once you get there, you can see why. We all agreed upon the ultimate, and we're rapidly seated. The server understood instantly that we were rookies, and was helpful and pleasant for our entire adventure. He showed us how to place the orders for the broth pots that are used to cook the various items. He also showed us how to place the orders for more of the all-you-can-eat items. In addition to the meats and special items that came from ordering, there is a conveyor belt that contains more items such as pastas, vegetables, and things like tofu, fish, and other things. We each chose a different broth, and you have controls it your table that control an induction cooktop to heat it up to your preferred level. The only complaint I had about the entire visit is that the controls are hard to access. You have to bend down since they are under the edge of your table, and they are not intuitive. So you have to look at them. It is difficult. That is my only complaint. The broth I got which was mushroom based was very good. The meats were things like ribeye, New York strip, brisket, pork, shoulder, chicken, and you would toss them into the cooking broth for a number of seconds pull them out, and they would be cooked to perfection. Grabbing things off of the conveyor was extremely easy, and they managed to keep it full. Delivery of the meat items was achieved using a second train system that would stop at your table and you would unload your little items and begin using them. Very automated. You ordered off of a touchscreen, your items arrived at your table within two minutes. Again, I cannot say enough about the service. It was extremely fast! The server who personally handled our table was outstanding! The food was delicious, in the atmosphere was wild. The walls were covered with Japanese anime art, and the music was a mixture of Japanese pop and K-pop, with a little hip-hop thrown in for fun. The all you can eat model meant that our prices were still quite reasonable. Like most oriental all you can eat, they do expect you only need to grab what you will eat. They're not big on wasting food. And I don't blame them. Their prices are reasonable. Unlike conveyor belt sushi, where you pay by every plate you grabbed, here you are paying for the ultimate experience. This was an outstanding adventure. The food was great in the atmosphere was great. I just wish they had a parking lot!
